What a masterclass example of AI being the Aesthetics of facism

Anganwadi workers in Chhattisgarh will be on strike tomorrow. Reason? Digital tyranny in the distribution of take-home rations (THR), now conditional on Aadhaar, recipient OTP, photo uploading, etc. AWWs are threatened with salary cuts if they fail.

No, this is not a satirical post. This is as real as it can get! 1. The current term of #LokSabha hasn't had a Deputy Speaker yet. This is unprecedented. It violates Article 93 of the #ConstitutionOfIndia & Govt is about to get away with it without any consequences. 2. The

43,000 ASHA community health workers in Karnataka with 100% union density just won a 20% pay rise after a massive struggle!

The ongoing genocide in Gaza is now rarely mentioned by mainstream media outlets. We are witnessing the normalisation of the utmost barbarity.

📃 We are happy to publicly announce our new project with @cis_cnrs: "From Open Data to Sustainable Data Commons" 🤗 Together with our communities, we want to build better governance mechanisms and legal tools to develop and maintain the #datacommons. 👉🏾 https://t.co/3vDsF35BAD

Some related works-in-progress: (1) The imaginary of 'frictionless' data flows in the NDHE and its impact on India's health data regulations; (2) Politics of India's Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network. Would love to connect with folx working on these issues!

Sharing an article that has been a loooong time in the making. So happy it's found a home in @SLR_NLSIU . Super grateful to @GuariniGlobal and @DataJusticeLab for their support and advice in shaping the ideas at the heart of this paper. And I'm grateful for any feedback!

I tried to make the point here for @epw_in that Indian economic problems are not inherently use cases for AI, and thought through some directions for a people-centred AI policy. Includes looking at generative AI as part of the recent history of Big Tech. https://t.co/chYM83IAMM

This study on how disparities in historical data led to unequal outcomes in healthcare AI systems shows pretty well that AI fairness isn't just about fixing code to correct statistical bias—it’s about understanding social dynamics too.

Umar Khalid completes 1400 days in jail WITHOUT TRIAL. While Sharjeel Imam completes 1690 days of incarceration. Is there any limit to the time someone can be kept in jail without trial? Looks like in UAPA, it's indefinite. #UmarKhalid1400DaysInJail #ReleaseAllPoliticalPrisoners

[LAUNCHING] Fostering a Federated AI Commons ecosystem, a policy briefing by @joana_varon @schock and @timnitGebru, submitted to T20 @g20org . Can we foster alternative ecosystems for AI development beyond the harmful "one model fits all" sold by Big Tech? https://t.co/VaPapEr4WK

If you are an academic these people were our colleagues. The silence of universities in the face of such barbarity is a shame never to be washed away.

🚨@Amnesty’s new briefing exposes that @Meta platforms & @tiktok_us removed abortion-related content since the 2022 US Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. As a result, increasing barriers to information for people who can become pregnant. https://t.co/sFDkHoLDgU
